PS+ Extra/Premium and Gamepass should die. They are really complicated, they are expensive and also costly to mantain, they don’t offer anything of value for the industry.
@RoomWithaMoose I am talking special about this site. In the case of this hypothetical situation where there is no AI the other site is probably a bigger site with a dedicated translator for multiple articles, not just one.
And for who hires translators nowadays, well anyone that requires translation as part of their normal operations, they are not gonna replace a professional job for AI if they don’t want their quality to drop.
@Dogbreath whose job is being lost by using an AI translator? If there were no AI translator available they wouldn’t have pay a translator just to translate one interview, they wouldn’t have probably copied from another site which already made the translation.
Even if there were no shortages of components, 2027 is too soon for the next gen. PS5 and PS5 Pro are fine, they don’t feel outdated yet, and just recently most games stopped releasing for previous gen too. I don’t see anyone claiming that we need new consoles.
Actually Sammy is correct, poncle is the development studio not only Luca Galante, the founder and creator of poncle and Vampire Survivors. It started as a solo dev team, that is the reason why Luca is called poncle, but now is a +25 person studio.
And while Luca is Italian the HQ of poncle are in London.
I haven’t played all their smaller games but Dead Nation and Super Stardust HD are great, but their high budget games are fantastic, they shouldn’t go back to having a smaller scope, or maybe only one small game after a couple of high budget games.
Hopefully Nintendo or even better Sega can save Ninja Theory, or someone else. But for the love of God don’t let Sony touch NT or any of the other studios closing.
@marktehshark69 Persona will still be multi platform, they announce it on the Xbox showcase because for whatever reason Sega has a deal with Microsoft to show their games and Xbox presentations even though they sell much better on PS5.
If they want to do more exclusives that’s fine, but what annoys me in the particular case of E-Day is that the game was canceled at last minute for PS5 and they basically left us with blue balls after the release of Reloaded last year.
@IronCrow86 no, actually the majority of the games don’t require an additional download besides the occasional day one patch. What is needed for all game is an installation to the internal memory, but you don’t need an internet download to do that.
I was not sure about buying this game after the announcement that the new Gears is going to be exclusive fearing the next Halo is also going to be exclusive, but the remake looks awesome and a fiends want to play it with me so I will bite the bullet.
The new Gears game looks awesome, it’s the first one that got me really interested since the 360 games. But I hope it flops and Xbox revert this dumb decision.
The game looks awesome, I am more interested in E-Day than Wolverine and Laufey, but f**k Xbox, I am not buying for only one game and then leaving it as a door stopper.
Why release the remaster of the first game to later backtrack and make this one exclusive.
This decision will hurt the game more than what it will help the console.
Also know I will think twice before buying any Xbox studios game in fear sequels will be Xbox exclusive.
@Stevey_Mac it’s a remaster of an old game, it is available on another console and PC on GamePass, it did not sell well not only on PS5 but in general. Also the game sold more copies on PS5 than on Xbox, not counting GamePass downloads.
I voted excellent, way better than the State of Play, but I should have voted very good instead because the audio sync issues, it could have been 30 minutes shorter in my opinion, and while not many the commercials from Nintendo and Capcom felt out of place, though that last one was kinda funny.
Nice, I have been planning on getting the HD trilogy on PS3 but that does not include the first game and instead includes Blood Money which I already own. Hopefully the update the gameplay with some QoL updates to make it less tedious.

Re: Rumour: State of Decay 3 Dev Also Facing Xbox Axe, Weeks After Game Was Revealed for PS5
Is the new leadership at Xbox even more brain dead than the previous one? And even in this situation they want to go back to exclusives?

Mad respect for these retailers, hopefully more do the same.

@1970sGamer I assume you mean Take Two and Rockstar
Re: Physical Retailers Refuse to Sell GTA 6 Over Decision to Skip Discs
@twitchtvpat a disc does not cost $10 and they are already charging $10 more than standard
Re: Physical Retailers Refuse to Sell GTA 6 Over Decision to Skip Discs
@Member_the_game totally different, at least the digital console is hardware.

Essential is fine but it should be cheaper.

2028 or even 2029 are fine for next gen.

@AdamNovice wasn’t the genre already know as Survivors or Survivors like?
Poncle is calling their survivors like game now Survivaton.

Re: Site News: Oh, Hi Everyone! Did You Notice Anything Different Here Recently?
I like the change, but I also notice more ads now, and also they are more intrusive and invasive.
Re: We Finally Know Why Korea 'Leaks' So Many Unannounced Games
@Runex2121 not necessarily, games sometimes are rated way before release
Re: Tearaway's Companion Site Is Shutting Down, So Browse Its Adorable Content While You Can
I just read today on Reddit that the VITA version is way better than the PS4 version?
I have the later, but know I want to get the former.
Re: We Finally Know Why Korea 'Leaks' So Many Unannounced Games
@Runex2121 that’s not a good solution, publisher can just reveal the game before the game is rated or submit it for rating in Korea after the reveal.
Re: Xbox Will 'Try to Do More' Console Exclusives if the Health of Its Business Improves
@MasterChiefWiggum Well it was a port of a pretty old game, but it sold better than on Xbox, not counting Gamepass of course.

Re: Xbox Will 'Try to Do More' Console Exclusives if the Health of Its Business Improves
@Oram77 yes, when it was announced that there won’t be more PC ports I felt bad for the Ghost of Tsushima fans on PC and also for the Returnal fans.
Re: Xbox Will 'Try to Do More' Console Exclusives if the Health of Its Business Improves

Re: Sony's Stellar Blade Will Let You Goon on the Go with Switch 2 Port
Calling the game Sony's Stellar Blade is unnecessary.
Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for August 2026 Announced
Nice, it’s been long since they launched a game on PS + Essential right?
Re: Whoops! Xbox Accidentally Uploads Gears of War PS5 Trailer
I am even angrier about this cancellation now but I am more optimistic they will flip flop once more and release it on PS5 eventually.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Explains New Hero Design, Praises Sony's Publishing Support

Re: 'There's a Finished Version of Gears PS5 Sitting on a Drive': New Game E-Day Was Almost Done

Re: Poll: Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
@MidnightDragonDX and a lot are saying SoP because this is a Play Station centric site.
Re: Poll: Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
@johncalmc I agree with you on almost everything but the best reveal of the week by faaaaaaaar was Final Fantasy Revelation
Re: Poll: Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
1st Summer Game Fest
2nd Xbox Game Showcase
3rd State of Play
Re: Persona 6 Finally Announced for PS5 with a Surprisingly Dark Reveal
This was probably a response to the leaks, because this was annoying, I hate when they don’t show anything.
Re: The Remaster of This Retro All-Timer Is Plucky Enough to Go Head-to-Head with GTA 6
Game was ok, if you love Godzilla you would like this. Not sure how does this compare to the PS4 game, I never played that one.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
I voted excellent, way better than the State of Play, but I should have voted very good instead because the audio sync issues, it could have been 30 minutes shorter in my opinion, and while not many the commercials from Nintendo and Capcom felt out of place, though that last one was kinda funny.

Re: Ex-Forza Horizon Devs Bring Story-Focused Racer 'Clutch' to PS5 Next Year
After Screamer another story focused racing game is nice. Also I am glad this one will have an open world.
Re: PS5 Ports from Microsoft Continue with Grounded 2, Out in August
@Naughtyottsel92 No, it only released as EA on PC and Xbox. Also, the new Horizon multiplayer game looks worse than this “crap”.
